You explained the clock alarm feature with a marvellous real world example - "in case you miss a cup of tea'". The danger of such a catastrophic event cannot be over emphasized and I am happy you drew attention to it. 😅😅

Chris! I have downloaded Xubuntu 24.04 because I really love the XFCE desktop. It's also about half the size of the Ubuntu iso. Can't wait to try it out. Thanks for your continued excellent coverage of Linux.

Another reviewer said this release of Ubuntu was boring. He acted like that was a bad thing. But boring is GOOD. As you said in the video, there is no use changing things just for the sake of changing them. If software changes all of the time, people have to devote time to relearning the software rather than the task they wanted to use the software for in the first place. If I want to type a letter, I want to do it and be done -- not learn a new word processor interface BEFORE I can type the letter. So I think Ubuntu has taken the wise course by being "boring." Though the lack of Solitaire on initial installation is something they need to reconsider...

I really love your videos, its like the type of videos I watched back in 2010-2012 when I was first learning computers, Straightforward and Clear, Love this Style !

[brianwood]

Really looking forward to giving this a try, Chris. Thanks for your review of it, It's very helpful.

I am thrilled about Ubuntu LTS release day because Linux Mint will have a new version in about two months

[stargazer]

Upon discovering Steam's Proton, the only time I boot into Windows is to update it. Linux/Ubuntu is fantastic and you sir present this new version in such a splendid way! Thank you for that and congrats to 1M subs! That's an astonishing accomplishment and I can see why from the quality and clarity of your videos.

watching this video while running ubuntu 24.04 on my main system :)

Hard to read fonts are a bane for me too.... it's alright for these young developers with their 20/20 vision 🙂
It's been a long time since I used Ubuntu, but the changes do look interesting,
Thank you Chris, always a pleasure! Take care, see you next week...

Great video, mate. I love Ubuntu. Regards from Adelaide, South Australia. 👍🏼

[JeffGeerling]

The only thing I don't like so far is it adopts Python's nag about "externally managed" environments. I just like installing a package or two with pip but now I either have to learn about Python virtual environments or bypass the nag (I choose the latter).

I have a feeling more and more people will be tuning in, Chris, as Win10 reaches end-of-life. Your videos are straight forward with no fluff, and I'm sure new users to Linux (like myself) will greatly appreciate it.

[siddiousuk]

Another informative and great video as always! Looking forward to playing with this new version!

[jakemurphy]

Thank you for a genuinely useful video. I am currently looking into running Ubuntu, and you have me convinced to at least try it. Looking forward to viewing more of your content.
